Synopsis

Love, Sitara

Love, Sitara (2024) follows Sitara, a successful interior designer, who impulsively proposes to her longtime on-off boyfriend Arjun, a chef, and insists on marrying at her grandmother's house in Kerala. As the family gathers, old secrets resurface: Sitara suspects her father of an affair with her aunt, while her mother and grandmother reveal their own painful histories of betrayal. Amidst the wedding preparations, Sitara's hidden pregnancy and confession of infidelity shatter her relationship with Arjun, who calls off the wedding. Choosing honesty over hypocrisy, Sitara decides to keep the child despite uncertain paternity, and later reconciles with Arjun in Singapore, where they agree to raise the baby together. A year later, they marry, symbolizing forgiveness, resilience, and the power of truth in love across generations

Love Sitara unfortunately dismantles itself from the inside. After a point, you can see the next twist coming from far away. In a scenario where there is no development within the story, what do you do? Wait. The climax here, which is supposed to be heartbreaking and emotional, doesn't tug at your heart strings. I tried hard, trust me. But the cast, the atmospherics, the tension- they just don’t come together to land it. Which is why Love Sitara falls flat. A supportive family is no doubt a progressive thought in the world of Indian cinema which loves conflicts and drama. But sticking to the desire for a happy ending, come what may, is beyond me. When the story is all about embracing an imperfect life, why not embrace an imperfect ending for a film too?
